Herbie's Video Christmas Card

Before we get to the final Herbie Award for 2010, a short musical interlude. Unfortunately we couldn't afford Take That ("What is Take That?" , " A popular beat combo M'Lud") so you'll have to put up with me on smallpipes and Kath on dulcimer playing a Spanish carol while you look at some pretty winter canal scenes. This is our home made Christmas card to all our lovely boaty friends, blog readers, and fellow bloggers, especially those afloat that we don't have addresses to send real cards to.

Its all a bit Low Res and Lo Fi, (Simon we need you). I never tried this before, and the recording was on the internal mic of a handheld MP3 player after all of three minutes rehearsal. So having suitably managed your expectations in a downward direction, have a click on the video thingy.

My internet connection is down at the moment...probably buried under the heaps of snow....my barge must be sitting a good couple of inches lower in the water at the moment. anyway, I'm on the dongle and can't watch your video yet. Looking forward to hearing you and Cath play though. Happy hols to you both!
